Mark Gottfried submitted his own response to the NCAA Notice of Allegations that was levied against NC State and Gottfried, who faces a potential show-cause penalty for his alleged failure to monitor his staff’s recruiting. Gottfried would like to avoid that penalty, since it would cost him his current job at Cal State Northridge and prohibit him from coaching anywhere in college for the duration of the show-cause.
Central to the defense presented by his lawyers is the argument that his case was prejudged by the NCAA before evidence was fully gathered and synthesized by investigators.
